Abstract

Cancer is still a primary worldwide health concern because of poor prognosis, adverse therapeutic reactions, and drug resistance. Although developments in several disciplines offer promise, natural chemicals derived from algae offer a promising new direction. Algae provide a potential replacement for conventional chemotherapy due to their diverse chemical composition and possible advantages, including quicker effect and reduced toxicity. Though the use of chemicals generated from algae in drug development is still in its earliest stages, further research into this area could provide lots of information and open the door to new and safer cancer treatments. The potential of various algae in the fight against cancer is examined in this comprehensive review. The review explores the wide range of bioactive chemicals present in different forms of algae. It discusses their way of action, which includes immune response regulation, cell death induction, and angiogenesis inhibition. Particular substances, such as polysaccharides, and the methods used to isolate them are covered, as well as how well they work against different kinds of cancer.

利用藻类的抗癌潜力:综述
由于预后差、不良治疗反应和耐药性,癌症仍然是世界范围内主要的健康问题。虽然一些学科的发展带来了希望,但从藻类中提取的天然化学物质提供了一个有希望的新方向。藻类具有化学成分多样、见效快、毒性小等优点,是传统化疗的潜在替代品。虽然在药物开发中使用藻类产生的化学物质仍处于早期阶段,但对这一领域的进一步研究可以提供大量信息,并为新的、更安全的癌症治疗打开大门。在这篇全面的综述中,我们研究了各种藻类在抗癌方面的潜力。这篇综述探讨了不同形式的藻类中存在的广泛的生物活性化学物质。它讨论了它们的作用方式,包括免疫反应调节、细胞死亡诱导和血管生成抑制。书中还介绍了多糖等特殊物质及其分离方法,以及它们对不同类型癌症的治疗效果。
